Don't know if any one can help me? some days my speeds are decent on the mweb newserver but on other days i can only get like 10-20kbs download on cached? and it dont believe it has anything to do with the news erver's side or the net being slow. I am on a mweb 4mb uncapped account.
 
Games are unplayable for me today. It seems they have improved torrents and allocated all the bandwidth away from games.

i have found that Bitcomet better to use in this shaped enviroment...

when i was getting speed of 7kb/s on utorrent, i was getting 8-10x that using bitcomet during office hrs.

give bitcomet a try!

interesting....
seems like some of the speed problems on torrents can be solved by trying different clients....

Make sure you register and log in.

This is what makes bitcomet faster. p2sp connections.

Thought this was common knowledge but not something to shout about for obvious reasons.
 
How does the client make any difference? The only thing I would imagine makes a difference is the port numbers.
 
I have had a 4mb line for awhile now, even before uncapped, and i always max out on 40kb/s on utorrent and even http downloads. I use wifi via my 802.11g router thats fairly close by. What am i doing wrong

You sure your not running a 384k account on a 4Mb line or vice versa?

I think by default it is already disabled?

The first release of 2.0 it wasn't for me.

Its under options, preferences , bittorrent and bandwidth management.

It's a great concept but the problem is downloaders who want permanent speed will just turn it off and if you're a adhoc downloader, its better for the network to grab what you need and then let your account just idle.

Also, there are certain routers that dislike the way uTorrent manages uTP connections, or even IPv6/Teredo. D-LINK is especially bad here, it seems.

I think the bandwidth management features in uTorrent may respond badly to ISP-level throttling, if it gets too severe, and it backs off more than it should. Of course, if the ISP can recognise uTP connections and handle them preferentially, then it may have a better overall impact on the system.

Im pretty sure its a 4mb line on a mweb 4mb account, where can i double check what line im using. I know its a 4mb account cause when i log in to check my bandwidth usage it says 4mb account

hhhm, well, been on an Axxess Express account over the weekend, as speeds off Rapidshare were horrid, but after speaking to MWeb Ops he said that they had adjusted the system.

Now having gone back to the MWeb account and indeed it seems to have been adjusted somewhat. Am now getting 70-75KB/s quite stable (where previously, I was getting 30KB/s), and this is during shaped period. Hopefully this lasts and after-hours speeds are around 350-400KB/s (instead of the 100KB before 1am, and 200 after)... then I will be really impressed :)

so far so good, and I am really impressed with MWeb's willingness to accomodate :)
 
Their news group server speeds have been toilet for 2 weeks. I prefer to use it when I can and hey, surely its better for MWEB to me to be using local. But I'm not going to use it if I'm getting 19 kB/s (cached) whereas I can load a torrent and get 30-75 kB/s.
 
Ok so i just realised today that my telkom line rental is a 512 and my mweb account is on a 4mb, dumb i know, so is it worth to go for the all inclusive 4mb deal from mweb.
